Show I QUIET THINGS I ""7hESE I have loved with passion, loved g them long: . The house that Stands when the building hammers cease, jffl After wild syncopation, a sane song, A tree that Straightens after the wind's release, The cool green Stillness of an April wood, j A silver pool unruffled by the breeze, The clean expanse of a prairie's solitude, And calm, unhurried hours I love these. & iP I have been tangled in the nets too long; p$! I shall escape and find my way again P$! Back to the quiet place where I belong, ' plil Far from the tinseled provinces of men. llf! These will be waiting after my release: jj$W:! The sheltered ways, the quiet paths of peaces. . ; GRACE NOLL CROWELL, -L- Q) |
